These apricot glazed pork ribs have become my go to dish whenever I want to impress without spending hours in the kitchen. The sweet and savory glaze made from apricot preserves, soy sauce, and brown sugar comes together in minutes, and then the ribs do most of the work themselves in the oven. I love that apricots are packed with vitamin A, which is great for your skin and eyes. What really sells me on this recipe though is how simple it is, using just a handful of pantry staples that most of us already have on hand. After about an hour and forty minutes, you'll have fall off the bone ribs that taste like you've been slaving away all day.
